Description

The Scalar i2000 library automates the retrieval, storage, and control of
tape cartridges. Application software on the host can use the library's
robotics to mount cartridges into tape drives and retrieve them without
operator intervention.
The library can be installed on a solid or raised floor. It has a standard 19-
inch rack footprint and can be placed in a standard server rack space.
Because the library provides access by way of the access and service
doors, the library can be placed with either side against a wall or between
racks.
Figure 11 on page 78 shows a front view of the library, consisting of a
control module and an expansion module.
